This was a great recipe! I did use regular rice cooked in the chicken stock as I didn't have any Uncle Ben's. Otherwise, followed the directions as written. I had some of the salad right away for lunch, but it did, indeed, taste much better the next day. Have already given the recipe out to friends!

We love artichokes and I have made many rice and artichoke dish before, but never with tomatoes and green onion. What a great combination. I put it all together earlier in the day and then just microwaved it a bit before serving. Yummmmmmm. Thanks for sharing, xtine.
